I want moar Zelda rumors NOOOOW!

-- According to this rumor, Nintendo is not happy with the sales of Skyward Sword. Launch was very good, but it lost its thunder quickly. They attribute this to two causes: Heavily focused on a certain gameplay idea (motion controls) and the Extra Cost for players of that idea (Motion Plus required).

Because of that, the Zelda team could have the order to make the gameplay more similar to the older ones. In that sense, Gamepad functions will be very light and nothing in the same realm of Wii Remote functions for Skyward Sword.

There's, also, a high probability that Controller Pro support is mandatory for Zelda Wii U.

The main point behind this rumored decision is simply sales. Without a heavily focused-in-motion-controls gamplay Nintendo expect sales to go up again. --

 

From the same source of the last rumors posted here.

The sad thing is that there were a lot of rumors behind Zelda Wii but for Zelda U there's basically nothing.

But having the pro controller made mandatory is just repeating the same mistake as forcing  you to use motion+! Seems odd.

 

Anyways, thanks for the rumor! We need to keep them coming :p
